What shapes a person's life more than anything else?

Not simply what they believe—but what they're devoted to.

Before Jesus went to the cross, He prayed that His followers would become one, united by a shared love for God and one another. The early church lived that prayer through deep relationships, shared purpose, and wholehearted devotion. Their lives became a powerful witness to the world because they pursued Jesus together.

In this message, Kris Stowers challenges us to examine our own lives. What has first place in our hearts? Are we pursuing Jesus with the same devotion we give to careers, hobbies, sports, or personal ambitions? Every day presents the same choice: deny ourselves or allow self to rule.

Following Jesus is more than agreeing with His teachings. It's a daily decision to become more like Him.

If you're exploring faith, returning to church, or wanting to grow as a disciple, this message offers an honest challenge and a hopeful invitation.
